I'll never be a fan of dirty players and/or floppers, but he looked like Joe Johnson with that second basket, and yeah, his shot looks much better and more compact, never mind his physique. My only question is why now? Why has it taken three years to see any of this, even from a fitness standpoint? I just hope that he's not one of those "contract year" guys, as I certainly never got that vibe from him previously, but perhaps I missed something. Either way, he should have spent time with Chauncey Billups much earlier, lol.
Dirty? What??
Floppers don't really bother me. Not nearly as much as whiners (LeBron, Draymond, Cousins)
I have to agree with "why now" sentiment. Completely confounding that guys like Sully, who are hugely talented, literally have a late night snack standing between him and a 15mill per contract. Although Marcus always relied on his weight for strength and bully. He must have had a conversation with someone last year who told him that if he wants to be an effective 1/2 in this league, he would need to get faster and more explosive, which he promptly did. He will get a pretty scary looking contract if he keeps it up. His ask is probably hovering around 80 mill at the moment.
